good hip hop

[destructodisk]

wait, remind me, what did I say?

what new Dre?

[ktothe]

Dres.............

On the contrary, I love that boom bap sample-laced sound!

It's just hard for me to get down with any "new" music where you could swap out the beat for something made 15 years ago and it would actually improve the sound of it. Dudes today think they're primo once they buy a used mpc and a miles davis record, but lack the flavor that made the "golden era" so wonderful and timeless.

Ps you gotta realize that I really listen to hip hop mostly for the beats. As long as the mc has a good voice and delivery, I could give a fuck what he's saying -- if the beat's good I can get down with the track.

[destructodisk]

hahaha oh DRES!

damn, you really like that shit that much huh? I even gave it a listen again and had no choice but to turn it off after that annoying bass clarinet sample got on my nerves again

nothing against Dres himself i suppose. but man, dude has gotta get some better cats producing for him.

Merged the good old and new Hip Hop threads together.

(put your hands in the air and wave them like you just don't care)

(even if you do care)

[aoi]

Anyone hook me up with MellowHype's Yellowhite? Had the CD, but think I forgot it hotboxing my brains out. And now the dl link is broken everywhere I go.

So I got my CD back, no thanks to any of you.

Liking the merger, even tho the title could be sexier.

"How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Hip Hop"

Meh.

I chopped and dümed this track too: http://soundcloud.com/rawdrugraps/stalker-chopped-and-d-med

also: I was bored and broke up the hip-hop in my iTunes by state. New York rules by a fucking huge margin. Texas and Georgia are next. I feel like I should have more westcoast shit. Recommend please.

edit: just cause I think it's interesting here's the count (by album)

Alabama - 7

California - 4

Florida - 3

Georgia - 12

Illinois - 3

Indiana - 1

New Orleans - 5

New York - 75

Ohio - 3

Pennsylvania - 6

Tennessee - 5

Texas - 14

Virginia - 4

[shufon]

^Just curious, who are the 5 you have from Tennessee? and 7 from Alabama??

[DüM]

Alabama - DB49, Jackie Chain and Yelawolf

Tennesse - Starlito, 2nd Family, 8ball & MJG

[destructodisk]

No triple 6 mafia from tennekey mayne?

[shufon]

^Grew up on that shit. Was wondering the same thing, haha.

Just realized you meant albums though dum, not artists. 8ball & MJG is good shit.. heard of Starlito but I think he's Nashville and most of that stuff sucks. Who is 2nd Family? All I can find online is some group from Tacoma.

[DüM]

Starlito's dope, but I didn't know du was Tennessee until I checked. 2nd Family is some old Memphis shit I got off some blog or something.

I was honestly never exposed to three six until fairly recently. I was overseas most of my life. For the short time I lived in the states it was Bad Boy from my dad and No Limit from my friends at school.

[shufon]

I gotta check out 2nd Family if it's old Memphis shit.. three 6 and other Memphis stuff is pretty much the only rap I knew until I was about 12.

It sucks that three 6 has become so commercial. They were so much better in the early-mid 90s..

[RBales]

yo dum if you're into that bama rap you should definitely check out g-side. their production duo blockbeataz does a lot of shit for db49 and i know they've done some tracks together. with jackie chain, too, way back in 08

[DüM]

thanks, man I'll check it out.

ordo, if you're listening, merging this thread was a good idea. I feel like this thread could be good.

not sure what the 4 cali albums you got are, but del has always been a favorite of mine. both as a solo artist and with hieroglyphics. a-plus (of hiero) is one of the more underrated producers

cant remember who prod'd this track but its always been a fav

ybmcTkRUO6U

off his third solo album, future development. his first is sort of standard early 90s production in terms of sound. i always like his shit cause its easy for a second to forget hes from cali aside from the strong accent and oakland references

3rd eye vision is a classic to me. a-plus, casual, and opio lace with ill production. the music of hiero ( along with souls of mischief) del, the pharcyde is the more conscious hip hop to the more fun party shit of early e40, mac dre, and obviously dre...which is all good stuff really.

planet asia is a solid emcee too. also souls of mischief released an album in '09 that was executively produced by prince paul that i thought was pretty good

Go get dat new GUCCI TAPE BRUH

it's alright, preferred the first mixtape, but neither were really exceptional. it makes gucci tolerable and listenable, so i guess that's notable. i can't listen to just gucci

[destructodisk]

yeah i agree, I hadn't even listened to the whole thing yet when I posted it. I was actually pretty let down by the Rustie & Hudson Mohawke produced trax, thought they would be the best but... eh...

[DüM]

Gucci is so listenable. Always makes me smile.

sNMlKY-curk

Thanks, Unique. I'll check some stuff out. I just find I can't get into westcoast shit as much as any other region. You'd think living here for 6 years would help, but it hasn't.

[chromesquared]

West coast shit from CA specifically off the top of my head: Ras Kass (soul on ice), Crooked I, Andre Nickatina, Saafir (boxcar sessions), Dan the Autpmator (prod), Sly Boogie, Blackalicious, The Grouch....

Ktothe,

OOPS!

U right, I was trippin.

yeah, very disappointed by the hud mo track, i'm telling myself he put on a shitty track because he doesn't care about a free gucci mixtape.

Gucci is so listenable. Always makes me smile.

he is, i just feel like some of his tracks get really repetitive after a bit of listening, du is hilarious tho. this track is funny, fucking gucci time

4VoIAzC_0zs

"colder than a polar bear sleeping in a freezer" lol

on the real tho, with all the ice out today gucci would be proud

errthing iced out!!!! brrrr

[shufon]

Gucci is so listenable. Always makes me smile.

lmao @ "I sold a lotta caine, my chain Toucaine Same"

[pieiskewl]

i really like this track a lot

i think curren$y is pretty good, but this track is definitely the best "hard in the paint" remix. what was the original "hard in the paint" track?

TldUEViX36c

[DüM]

Hard in the Paint is Flocka. Flockaveli was my favorite hip hop release from last year.

Unlike Gucci though, seeing Flocka in interviews and shit is not funny. Dude is genuinely dim and can come off kinda timid at times which is weird. I've only seen a few appearances though.
